tuth

noun. tinder

The word G. tuth “tinder” appeared in the Gnomish Lexicon as a derivative of the root ᴱ√tudh- [TUÐU] (GL/72), where the final ð became th.

Neo-Sindarin: I think this word may be salvaged in Neo-Sindarin as a derivative of the Neo-Root ᴺ√TUD “firewood, kindling”, but it would become ᴺS. tudh in Sindarin’s phonetic developments.

tuthli

noun. match

The word G. tuthli “match” appeared in the Gnomish Lexicon as elaboration of G. tuth “tinder” (GL/72).

Neo-Sindarin: This form does not adapt gracefully to later Sindarin, so for “match” I’d use ᴺS. tudheg as a diminutive form of ᴺS. tudh “tinder”.
